 house plant, it is often difficult to start dry bulbs into 

 growth. We offer, under the head of Seasonable 

 Flowering Plants, nice growing plants, which is by 

 far the best way to get them.

Crown Imperials. 



(Frit ilia ria Imperial is. 



Very showy and stately early spring- 

 blooming plants. The flowers are 

 bell-shaped, and are borne in a whorl 

 at the top of the plant, which grows 

 from 3 to 4 feet high; will grow well 

 in any good garden soil. At the time 

 of planting the soil should be deeply 

 dug and well manured. They should 

 be planted two or three in a clump, 6 

 inches deep, and then left alone for 

 years. When established they flower 

 abundantly, and the stems should not 

 be cut off, but allowed to decay natu- 

 rally. A slight covering during the 

 winter is beneficial. (See cut.)
